Reader's Digest funniest contest

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on January 23rd, 2008

We missed this. But SHECKYmagazine contributor Bill Bunker certainly didn’t.

So now he’s among the ten Chicago comedians competing in the Chicago’s Funniest Video contest, which is part of the RD’s Funnfest. Other comics include Haji Outlaw, Patrick McGann and Julianna Forlano.

Bunker dropped us a line and cautioned that the folks at RD “seem to think that standup is best presented by one person alone in front of a camera, sort of al Quaida hostage style.” (His way of preparing us for the spectacle of all the comics’ clips– they appear to be performing in a vacuum! It’s eerie– They’re all floating among a backdrop of inky blackness!)

Anyway, hop to it and vote for Bunker! He’ll win 500 clams!

And, when you’re done there, hop on over to here and check out the Nashville finalists.
